Everything happens for a reason...

[Wo****]

I am finally returning to work. Today. After about three years, to something i love. Care work.

I applied to a nursing agency, while off sick from my current job (which i hated) because my life had changed. I could do agency hours, it would fit in well with Pirate and me, i felt ready to go back into care...

Then the virus appeared. For me, it gives me a chance to get back out there, in care, and actually DO something.

I handed in my notice, signed up for the agency. Work will be plentiful and i can throw myself into it.

The agency provide training, with recognised qualifications, so this is the first rung of my career ladder. I think i'd like to be a therapist of some sort.

 

Since i stopped drinking, took stock of where i was, am, and want to be, and took a long honest look at myself, good things are happening.

Dear lady I hope it all pans out for you.  Job satisfaction is a good thing, and if you weren't happy doing the other work, then you needed to change.  It is part of that growth that we all must do, if we want to be happy and content with life.

The only other thing I say to you is, be safe and take care.

Good to hear, you're a very lovely and caring person so I'm sure you will do great in jumping back in :)

Sometimes it takes just one small change, one small step - then suddenly the whole world is different.  Go, Girl, Go!   But always remember - that YOU took the step that changed the world...

With support from all of my friends...

There is already a regular Thurs night available with the option of up to 40 hours (if they bought me from the agency) which would be a mix of day and night shifts. During lockdown I can do whenever but long term I want 3 nights a week so I can plan my schedule and it works well with pirates work pattern.

I think, possibly, I may have found where I should be.

Not just with work, with everything.

 

I'm rebuilding bridges with my family, which is huge, strengthening my circle of friends, leaving some behind and making new ones, I'm still sober and it looks like I've taken the first step to going for the career I want.

 

A while back, when I was coming out of my depression I told someone I wanted to be in the best shape of my life, physically, mentally and emotionally. That's in July. I'm on track..... physically will need some effort because of my leg but I could do it, or at least get close to it.

 

I always dreamt of flying, being free.

Of liking who I was and being proud of it.

I kept faith, all those years, because I knew if I kept going, no matter how many times I fucked up, as long as I didn't give up, I'd get there. And, I have. It's a great place to be.
